[Az-Geocaching] Micro Cache Advice

[Bob Renner]

There have been several mini caches here that use a 1 pint paint
can.  These aren't as small as a film canister, but they are 
fairly small and can be hidden most anywhere.  

Another cache used coin tubes.  I haven't seen this cache myself,
but I think these tubes are transparent.  

You could also use empty prescription containers.  Most of these
are transparent and have tight fitting caps and come in a variety
of sizes.

One other idea would be one of the smaller plastic mayonnaise jars
or the equivalent.

I have decided to place an urban area micro cache here in Tucson.  I
need 
some advice on what to use as the container.

I thought about a film canister but I think that would be too small.
After 
the let down of the game last night I put together a small container
with 
PVC and ABS pipe as a test.  I think it is the perfect size, but wonder
if 
given the events of Sept. 11 it would be wise to place a piece of PVC 
somewhere public?  I would hope that it wouldn't be found by anyone
other 
than a geocacher, and I would have the container clearly marked, but I 
would hate to have the bomb squad out thinking it was a pipe bomb.  I
guess 
though that this is something to be concerned about with any urban
cache.

Any thoughts?
